3.
(FOR THE MEN) Do I need to complete a profile at
TopBachelors.com if I just want to look?
Yes, your profile on the mens' site grants you the
privilege to view the women's site. Your profile
code will be on your e-mail messages and will also
keep your e-mail account private.
4. Is a photo really necessary for my profile?
As they say, "It's worth a thousand words!"
Our studies have shown that profiles with photos
receive more than seven times the response as non-photo
profiles. We strongly recommend taking your time
and uploading a quality photo of yourself.
It should be one that you are proud to show. Shirts
(tops) without a detailed pattern look the best.
Use a picture that really shows your face well.
Often times, people use a photo that was taken too
far away. Since your photo can be up to 3 inches
wide, you have a couple of options (if you know
how to use Adobe Photoshop). You may always just
use a simple "head shot." Or, you could
make a split-photo that has the top half of the
picture a "head shot" and the bottom picture
could be one of the following: full-body, waist
up, sports picture, action shot, etc. This could
also be split left and right.
5.
Do you have any suggestions for better results?
Make sure you tell your potential mate about what
you are looking for in a person, rather than just
more about yourself. It is important for the person
to learn about you, but they need to know if they
fit your idea of a perfect mate.
6. Can I change my profile or photo after I submit
it for the first time? Yes! 
7.
How large of a photo can be uploaded?
Your photo can be up to 3 inches wide.
8.
Why do I need a "User Name" on my profile?
This is the name you will go by at our site.
This is to protect your identity. It also helps
us with database management. Your User Name will
also be used each time you log in. See the log-in
dialog box for directions. A User Name
IS REQUIRED!
9.
How does the search function work?
A) Click on "member log in"
B) Enter your "User Name"

greatly broaden your choices. USE the "CTRL" button
to select more than one option for each preference.
H) Click on "Find" at the bottom of the form.
I) You will then see the list of members who fit your
search requirements. Those with a camera icon next to
their User Name have included a photo with their profile.
J) Click on your choice and a new window will open with
that person's profile. If you want to narrow your search,
or redefine your preferences, click the "RETURN" button
until you get to the page where you make your selections.
Make further preferences or alter a search category such
as "age".
K) Leave a message on the member's page of your choice.
10. How do I know when someone wants to contact
me? A potential mate will type a message at
the bottom of your profile and send it to you via
e-mail. The message will have a link that goes directly
to their profile. When you use that link to send
a return message, they will receive that message
via their e-mail. You communicate back and forth
in this manner.
11.
Do I need to type in my e-mail address in the "office
use" section of my profile?
YES! It will not be seen by anyone except our staff.
If your e-mail is not valid, your profile will not
work!
Your password will be sent to your e-mail address. Attention
AOL users: Your AOL screen name will not work as your
e-mail address. All e-mail addresses must have an "@"
sign.
